The mid-range smartphone segment is crowded in ways that make individual products hard to distinguish. Specs converge, designs flatten, and most phones feel interchangeable within days. vivo's V70 enters that space with a clear point of view: a ZEISS-co-engineered telephoto camera tuned for stage photography and travel, a large battery built for long days, and a physical design that genuinely tries to look and feel like something worth keeping.

The Blaze Duo 3 features a 1.6-inch AMOLED touch display on the rear that supports several functions, including music playback controls, notification previews, and a camera viewfinder. On the front, the phone sports a 6.67-inch AMOLED display with Full-HD+ resolution and a refresh rate of 120Hz. It is equipped with the MediaTek Dimensity 7060 SoC, which is paired with 6GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 128GB of UFS 3.1 storage.

Honor Magic8 Lite is not exactly a lighter Magic8 or Magic8 Pro, despite what its model name might suggest. But it sure is shaping up like an excellent mid-range offer with an attractive design, promising battery life, and a pinch of the premium photography skills the flagship models are offering. The Magic8 Lite is an IP68/IP69-rated smartphone immersible in up to 6m of deep water. And it's also drop-resistant up to 2.5m. For comparison, Magic6 Lite was IP53-rated and Magic7 Lite - IP64-certified.

Oppo is working on a new device with the model number PLT120. This was just certified for sale in China by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. The listing reveals the fact that the handset has a 6.75-inch screen with 720x1570 resolution. It has 8/12GB of RAM and 128/512GB of storage. It has a 6,830 mAh battery capacity, which, if it is the 'rated' capacity, will end up being advertised as 7,000 mAh.

The phone is built around its 6.75" LCD - it's a 900 x 1,940px panel with 317ppi pixel density. It runs at 120Hz refresh rate and can reach 1,000 nits peak brightness. There is a 16MP selfie camera punch-holed into the display, but no fingerprint reader - that is on the side instead. The nubia V80 Design measures 7.7mm thick and weighs 191g. This is with a 5,000mAh battery inside that is capable of 22.5W charging and 10W reverse charging.

vivo has confirmed that it will unveil the mid-range Y500 Pro later this year. The company recently launched the vivo Y500 in China with a massive 8,200 mAh battery. The upcoming Y500 Pro will offer an upgrade over the standard variant in terms of camera performance. vivo Product Manager Han Boxiao has revealed that the upcoming mid-range phone will feature a 200MP rear camera.

Sony officially unveiled the Xperia 10 VII, its latest mid-range smartphone. It comes with a redesigned rear camera module and a number of improvements compared to its predecessor. The Sony Xperia 10 VII features upgraded rear cameras that are now placed horizontally inside a pill-shaped module, which looks very Pixel-like. The phone has a 50 MP Sony Exmor RS main sensor and a 13 MP ultrawide unit. For selfies, the device comes with an 8 MP camera.

The Honor 400 Smart features a 6.77-inch LCD screen with a resolution of 720x1610, 120Hz refresh rate, and 700-nit peak brightness.
